How much wood is between the locking mechanism cap and the top of the gate? Could I cut off a few inches and remount the locking tab piece?

When the gate if fully extended there is a couple inches that could be taken off. However if as the gate retracts the top rail slides up, so there is no space. In other words, you would no longer be able to make the gate be less wide.

You need at least 5/8" clearance around the entire circumference of the hinge area where the lock installs.

Hi Lisa, This gate is Adjustable from 38" to 60" and is 27" high. You could just put it above the base boards. Best, Sharon

The metal is 28 inches. The way I have it mounted height from the deck to the top of thegate is 30.5 inches.

No, tighten one of the top adjusters a few more turns. The little black triangle of the latch should be at least 1/8" inside the two little grooves on top of the gate.

if you mean the extensions on the sides, they are 30 inches, the wood curved top of the gate is 32 inches.

You can either adjust the exposed length of the bolt by screwing it in further and tightening the lock nut or you can shorten the bolt with a saw or bolt shear.

I have the exact same issue, and need the dimensions please, what is the length from top screw to bottom screw? I have an existing door knocker and the distance is a little more than 4"

if it's a wood bannister you can drill right into it...only 4 screws per side....if metal railing...we strap a piece of wood to it and then mount gate into wood

Mine is mounted in a 32" opening. The user guide says it will go up to 42-1/2" openings. They also mention optional 10" extensions for 42" to 63" wide. They recommend no more than two extensions per gate.

The tallest part of the gate itself, rounded middle, is 27 1/2" but from the bottom of the frame to the top of the gate is 30". We put this gate across the top of our steps on our deck to keep the dogs confined to the deck and it works great. We have 2 small dogs, one is 3 1/2 lbs., the other 6 1/2 lbs. and they can't squeeze through the bars to escape. At least they haven't done it yet! The paint has faded a bit from the sun and I'll probably repaint it next spring. Wouldn't be a problem if it were inside and out of the hot direct sun.

The opening in the locking plate is 1-3/8" x 12-1/8". It would be straightforward to attach a plate that would restrict this further.

I measured and measured again, and the doorway must be 29 inches or maybe 28.875 but 28.5 will unfortunately not work for this gate because of the caps on the ends at secure it to the walls.

Tighten both sides more so that the locking mechanism holds. If it is too loose, then the gate won't lock into place and hold.

I believe the opening can be no more than 72" so you should be fine. My opening is 59 1/2 and I left off one section of the gate not to be used. Nice and sturdy. We have no complaints about the gate as long as you can secure attach each end solidly into the wall you should be good.

4 7/8" for steel. If you are mounting in wood, I would cut 4 3/4" and sand for a snug fit if necessary.

With the lock in place, the distance from the edge to edge is 2 and 11/16". Hope that helps
